Free radical substitution
A brief explanation of the terms free radical and substitution. Free radical substitution of hydrogen atoms in methane by chlorine atoms. Includes multiple substitution if you need it. Free radical substitution of hydrogen atoms in methane by bromine atoms. Includes multiple substitution if you need it. Free radical substitution of hydrogen atoms in the methyl group in methylbenzene by chlorine atoms in the presence of UV light (sunlight). Includes multiple substitution if you need it.
